Chapter 105: Unleash your full power, trap your power
In Bianxi, a detachment of Xiaoxian's feigned restraint also quickly passed away the enemy and led the way south by Guo Songlin; Gongshan brigade separated the infantry and cavalry, and the infantry avoided the real and went to the weak, and returned to his hometown in Xiaoxian, while the cavalry carried steel fists and grenade launchers to play their maneuverability, raiding the road and railway from Xuzhou to Suzhou to the east.
After receiving the telegram, Liao Lei, the commander-in-chief of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Border Region, was surprised by Yang Tianfeng's boldness and the results he achieved, but he quickly issued an order, ordering the troops and guerrilla armed forces in eastern Anhui to feint the surrounding areas of Bengbu and along the railways, and launch an attack in a timely manner to restrain the Japanese army.
A battle to expand the territory eastward launched by a local army, the Third Column, is getting bigger and bigger, involving all aspects and mobilizing more and more enemy-to-we forces.
Yang Tianfeng led a team to attack the Sucheng Japanese Command, which can actually be called the "beheading tactic". Because of the fierce fighting and fierce attack, the Japanese did not have time to issue a warning or ask for help. The contact with the Sucheng Command was interrupted, and the phone number before the station was captured only said that it was attacked and was fighting fiercely, and there was no news afterwards.
Although shocked, the Japanese in Xuzhou and Bengbu did not expect the consequences to be very serious. There are not many things that destroy railways and telephones, but there are also many. The anti-Japanese armed forces along the route cannot face the Japanese army head-on, but they all like to do this. Therefore, the Japanese did not send out easily, but instead sent telegrams and phone calls, inquiring from multiple parties, and ordered the Japanese and puppet troops around Sucheng to go for reinforcements.
It was dark that the Japanese devils in Xuzhou finally had relatively accurate news, but they did not believe that Sucheng was occupied and the garrison was annihilated. The Japanese commander drew troops and prepared to take the train to go south to reinforce. At the same time, he ordered the friendly troops of Bengbu to also go out, advance north and south, meet in Sucheng, and jointly eliminate the enemy.
In fact, the Japanese were already a little late to launch a large-scale move. But Yang Tianfeng didn't know that he could use all the resources to mobilize all the people who could come nearby, and soon led his troops out of the city to retreat westward.
Sucheng was silent, and it was dark, like a dead city, gradually disappearing out of sight. Yang Tianfeng withdrew his gaze and relaxed a little.
The Japanese did not seem to be coming quickly! It seemed that there was no large group of enemies, and the small groups of enemies around could not stop them.
But the surrounding area is not large, and Yang Tianfeng knows the preciousness of time. At a longer distance, the Japanese troops in Xu and Beng may be taking a train, while the Japanese troops in Lingbi, Guzhen and other places may be coming along the road by car.
Yang Tianfeng's car passed the two cars parked on the roadside. Dozens of soldiers were swinging shovels and pickaxes, digging frozen soil, and laying landmines and four-corner nails on the road.
All the methods were used, and at worst, they could fight with the chasing Japanese. Yang Tianfeng withdrew his gaze, stepped on the accelerator, and accelerated his speed.
When Yang Tianfeng arrived at Xierpu Township, the first group of people who had withdrawn from the city were already set off again. Many people in Xierpu Township also packed up their own belongings and joined the team leaving home. A large mattress at the entrance of the village was set up, and more than a dozen large pots were recruited with boiling water and thick porridge with salt. Passing by was eating and drinking for free, warming up, and raising their stomachs and continuing to rush.
After dawn, Japanese planes may be coming. The notices and propaganda clearly state that the people of Sucheng, who have suffered from bombing, are deeply afraid of this and think that the further you go, the better.
Yang Tianfeng was also afraid of Japanese planes, not to mention that he had stabbed such a big "cracker". But he was afraid that there was no way, so he could only defend air as much as possible and act as little as possible during the day. However, it was impossible to remain motionless during the day. The Japanese pursuers might arrive soon and would not leave him with a night of easy retreat.
In the woods and small villages next to the highway, a group of officers and soldiers of the Third Column are building fortifications, and fighting and walking will be an inevitable way of retreat. If the army runs to the front of the people and ignores them, what will it look like?
Xierpu Township, Xipu Township and Sipu Township blocked each point, and used landmines and four-corner nails to try to transform the enemy from mechanization into infantry, slowing down its pursuit.
Less than an hour after Yang Tianfeng arrived in Xierpu Township, Japanese reinforcements drove into Sucheng one after another. They were two squadrons stationed in Lingbi County and Guzhen County, and the means of transportation they were on were cars. Because it was related to the safety of their headquarters and their superiors, after receiving the exact order, the two reinforcements gathered very quickly, acted very actively, and walked quite quickly.
The Japanese who came from Xuzhou and Bengbu were blocked by the bombed railway more than ten kilometers north and south of Sucheng. They could only be converted into infantry and rushed towards Sucheng on foot.
Sucheng is dark and silent, and only occasionally wild dogs bark twice, like a ghost city.
Although there was an ominous premonition that enveloped my heart, the Japanese had not lost their minds and carefully drove from the east gate into the city, rushing to the corps headquarters of the East Gate first.
The former majestic headquarters was already in chaos, with the bodies of the Japanese and puppet troops piled up, right next to the broken iron gate of the headquarters.
Because of the rapid retreat, it can be said that it was hasty. The three lunar calendar did not plunder cleanly for the first time. The broken limbs and broken arms on the ground were everywhere, and the most were at the gates of fierce battles.
Coming from Lingbi Prefecture, Yukiosuke Yamashita's heart sank as the captain of the squad. Such a tragic scene, it can be said that the commander is in danger. He didn't understand that there were nearly a thousand troops in the city, tanks and armored vehicles. Even if the attack of the regular Chinese army several times would not lead to failure so quickly.
The soldiers who were searching in front of the road were already in front of the building, went in, and arrived at the second floor, and loudly reported in front of the broken window that there was no enemy, safety!
The Japanese soldiers slowly straightened their waists, relaxed their vigilance, and began to scatter. It seemed that the enemy had already escaped and would not encounter any attacks.
With a click, a Japanese man walked to the bungalow next to the headquarters. As soon as he walked to the broken door, his foot made a strange noise and half of his foot fell into it.
Boom! There was a loud bang without any warning, and a pile of inconspicuous ruins suddenly exploded, and countless broken bricks burst out into the surroundings. In screams and exclamations, the explosives buried in the yard were detonated one after another, with dazzling fires and smoke filled the smoke, either turning up from the ground or exploding from the middle of the rubble pile, like the god of death sneering.
The Japanese in the explosion area were either stirred up by the explosion air waves, or were sieved by the gravel, and the iron sheets were made into sieves. The Japanese who were far away either lay on the ground like a conditioned reflex or fled backward in a very embarrassed manner.
Nosuke Koda's eyes were shining with the light of the explosion, and he felt a huge wave of air coming to his face and fell to the ground, followed by ashes, soil, ice and snow, and even pieces of meat falling from the sky and landing on the ground.
